      The entire recipe in this video is in the video description! I typically feed my starter a 1:5:5 ratio morning and night, but in this particular case, I forgot to feed it the night before. So I fed my starter a 1:1:1 ratio first thing in the morning and then started this dough a little bit after lunch when it peaked!

    First crack at this recipe today. I’m at 5,500ft altitude, low humidity. I followed the recipe ingredients exactly. (Except did NOT put ice cube in dutch oven). Dough temperature started at 82, after bulk fermentation, 79 degrees. Baked the first loaf immediately after first shaping and 30 minute rest. Cured loaf overnight on counter. Excellent taste and texture. Baked the second loaf after a night in the refrigerator.. (the loaf, not me). A bit less rise, but good flavor and texture. My wife says this recipe is a bit better than my standard sourdough…. Lighter and more flavorful. From my standpoint, it’s also much more labor intensive… that’s the tradeoff.

    • @thatsourdoughgal-v6l

  • @swscott10
    @swscott10 Місяць тому +1

    Your video has been so helpful! Could you explain how you figure how much starter(for feeding) is needed to obtain the amount of starter needed for making any recipe.

    • @thatsourdoughgal-v6l
      @thatsourdoughgal-v6l  Місяць тому

      Yes! The shortcut is using the feeding ratio calculator on my website: thatsourdoughgal.com/sourdough-starter-ratio-calculator/
      The basic idea is that the more starter you put in the jar, the faster your mixture will peak. So if you want your starter to peak quickly (so you can make bread with it quickly), you'd use equal parts starter, flour, and water. If you want it to peak in, say, 12 hours, you'd use less starter, or around 1 part starter, 5 parts flour, and 5 parts water.
      In this recipe, I need 240g to make the two loaves. I always add an extra 20-30 grams so I have a bit leftover to feed to keep my starter going. So let's say I actually need 270g of starter. If I want to bake in 4-6 hours, I would do 90g each of starter, flour, and water (equal parts). If I wanted to feed my starter before bed and make my dough when I wake up, I would do 25g starter, 123g flour, and 123g water (a 1:5:5 feeding ratio).

    A written recipe would be so nice. I’m following the directions in the video but halving the ingredients to just make one loaf. So far it looks GORGEOUS. I’m about to preshape. Wish me luck! this might be my first successful sourdough attempt since having a stroke and losing the use of my left hand. I’ve tried higher hydration recipes and shaping them with one hand is utterly A impossible. This dough seems easier to work with though so I’m hopeful.ill post results to my IG and tag you if I’m pleased with how it turns out.

      @thatsourdoughgal-v6l  2 місяці тому +1

      It's a Thermapen One and it's the best thermometer on the market. A thermometer in general is a must-have (IMO) when making sourdough, but you don't have to spend quite as much. The Thermapen brand is trustworthy and they make cheaper models. The one I have and love is included in the description.

    • @thatsourdoughgal-v6l
      @thatsourdoughgal-v6l  Місяць тому

      I mean it's 68% so closer to 70% but definitely lower than a lot of other sourdough bakers. I just can't get higher hydration doughs to work with me. They are too sticky, hard to work with, and often overproof. But I live in Florida - it's humid here, we're at a 103ft elevation, our home is usually 75F. Things just happen faster here. A lower hydration seems to fix all those issues. I'm not giving up on higher hydration but when I get great results with lower and avoid all those issues... I just can't get away from it!

      The Dutch oven in this video is a Le Creuset 9-quart Dutch oven. It is overkill if you plan to purchase just for sourdough. This was gifted to me for Christmas a few years ago and we use it for stews, roasts, soups, etc in addition to the occasional sourdough bake. If you are on the market for a Dutch oven specific to making bread, a better spend would be the Krustic Dutch ovens. I really love these. Just posted a review of the oval one a few days ago.
